THE RENTAL OUTLOOK.
Look for u Rise in Rents When the
Annual Moving Day Comes.

Extended inquiry among the rental agen-
cies of the city yesterday developed the fact
that there are at present fewer vacant
dwellings, and stOre-rooms than at any pre-
Vious time in the history of MINNEAPOLIS.
There is an active demand for houses of
every description. particularly if situated
inside of Twentieth street. Rents have re-
NAMED stationery during the past autumn.
no reduction from last springs prices hay
Ing been made, and there is sure to be an
Increase in the rate next spring. Isolated
houses rent better in Minneapolis than
those in tenement rows. though the latter
usually have more conveniences. There is
a strong demand for business blocks suit
able to all branches of wholesale trade. and
no doubt this will cause goodly addition
to the business architecture of the CITY dur
ing the coming season. There is also a con-
stantly growing demand for tirst-class
dwellings of eight to ten rooms built with
all the modern conveniences; comparatively
few such houses are for rent in
Minneapolis. and they are much
needed. At present business property is
more valuable to owners than residences.
rents ruling higher in proportion to the
amount invested. Cheap residence rows
are at present the poorest renting property
in the city; tenements built during the past
year have mostly been of the better class.
and will find good tenents without difficulty.
First-class rows, built with modern i'm
provements, readily pay net income of
from to 10 per cent. This estimate in
cludes in the expense all agents commits

The contest of Snider and Gross for a
seat in the legislature was resumed yester-
day, with interesting developments. Such
a state of affairs was found to exist that
there is little probability of ever disturbing
Matt Gross, who is now in the seat and
will almost certainly warm it to the end OF
the session. There has been a recount in
the country district, and. while it has re-
vealed no important changes in figures. 1t
shows the utter lack of value of such re-
count under the circumstances. 1t showed
that not only could any person have had &C
cess to and tempered with the ballot boxes.
but that some of the boxes lad actually
been opened more than once and the ballots
thumbed. Some OF the ballots
were not even strung, others were so badly
mutlated the names were not legible. and
still others were marked over in pencil in
such a way that it was impossible to say
whether the names had been scratched by
voters or had been done since. These
boxes have been opened and the ballots
counted without an order of court, and for
all that is known to the contrary, ballots
have been distracted and new ones put in
their places. However, the ballots were

side and the Chicago company should have
exclusively the North and South sides. and
that neither should encroach upon the ter
ritory of the other. Recently Judge Shepe
ard. IN the lower court. decided that
the Chicago company could invade tn
West side because the contract between
the two companies was void as tending to
monopoly and restraint of trade. Judge
Moran decides that the contract is only in
partial restraint of trade as against the two
companies themselves and is, therefore. q
valid contract. provided it is reasonable.
The words of the Chicago company's char
ter, which gave it the right to supply gas in
any part of Chicago, were permissible and
not mandatory and there was no public
policy forbiddng both companies to enter
into any reasonable arrangement which
would leave one portion of the territory to
be supplied by the other. The companies
were as free to make the agreement as pri-
vate individuals were. The contract tended
more to promote the public interests than to
operate with any special injury to them.
1t prevented competition between the
parties. but so did every contract which
was in partial restraint of trade but it did
not prevent outside competition, as was
evidenced by the opposition companies to
the Chicago company On the South side.

A new complication has arisen in the

the one hand and the Minneapolis & Pacific

night:
The matter of freight rates on grain
from interior points is still far from a final
settlement The Manitoba road has lust
opened a line from Tintah, On the Brecken-
ride division, to Aberdeen, Oak. The new
line, after leaving the competing points on
the Minneapolis Il Pacific, comes i'll competi-
ton with the Hastings & Dakota division of
the Milwaukee road. The distance from
Aberdeen by the Manitoba 10 Minneapolis is
S05 miles, and to Duluth is AIS miles. The
Manitoba road has been giving the same rate
to Duluth from Aberdeen that it gives to
Minneapolis, although the distance is 10
miles more to Duluth than TO Minneapolis
and seventy-Seven milesaof this is carried by
the St. Paul & Duluth road. The Milwaukee
road has no line TO Duluth and of course
objects to the same rate TO Duluth as to
Minneapolis from stations competing with the
Manitoba. The Milwaukee people are will

EGALE.Y DEAD.
Citizen Samuel N. Ewing Ordered
EIaced in an Insane Asylum.


Early yesterday morning Samuel N.
Ewing, who for a long time past has pro-
claimed himself the Christ of the Revela-
ton, was arrested at the instance of friends
and taken before the probate court, to be
examined as to his sanity. The medical
examiners were Drs. J. B. Gould and G. l..
Wells. and after spending nearly two hours
asking Mr.. Ewing questions. they came to
the conclusion that it was not safe to have
the man at large. Judge Won Schlegel
shade cut the necessary papers, and to-day
Citizen Ewing, as he termed himself. will
be removed to the insane asylum. During
the examination Mr.. Ewing seemed quite
rational, and was somewhat indignant to
think that his sanity should for moment
pc questioned by any one. Toward the
last he became excited, and said that he
would return and get even with his perse
cutOrs. For number of years past Mr..
Ewing has been in the habit of issuing
proclamations touching upon national and
DELICIOUS questions, but as he was never
violent his friends did not think restraint
was necessary. OF late his mania has be-
come more pronounced and taken danger
Gus form, which urged his friends to have
him examined. One of his latest illusions
is as follows:
To Cushman K. Davis: The supreme mo-
ment of your life. Tell the legislature that
you bow to the god of Minnesota constitution.
Request them 10 elect Samuel n. Ewing senator
by acclammation. Then forget all you ever
knew and push forth inIo the national arena
and tell them to elect Samuel n. Ewing presi-
dent. The star of the empire Westward Ho.
